OKP-339 Barite
Cartersville, Bartow County, Georgia. Ex. Caroline Les collection.
Like barites from other Georgia locations these things are as "rare as hens
teeth". I've seldom seen these any larger than thumbnail sized specimens,
they are almost always damaged, and again, simply uncommon. This fine
example is a large plate of crystals measuring 6.4 x 5 with crystals to
approximately 2.5 cm each. They are damage-free and attractive.
These barites are among the most recognizable due to their unusual form.
The specimen comes with a custom engraved acrylic base. I've spoke with
locals who know this site is no longer producing specimens and understand the
importance of fine examples like this. I do not believe you will fine a
better one of these anywhere. $1,500

OKP-340

OKP-340 Wulfenite, Mimetite, Cerussite
Erupcion Mine, Los Lomentos, Chihuahua, Mexico. Ex. Caroline Les
collection. This example is one of the most unusual and aesthetic I have
seen from Los Lomentos. The piece shows large (to almost 2 cm each)
tabular clear, yellow wulfenites with a second generation of translucent brown
wulfenites on these. Green mimetite and white/clear cerussite as great
contrast to this plate of crystals. Sorry, I neglected to show the back
which is partially crystallized by fine cerussites and some wulfenite.
Everything is damage-free and aesthetically displayed as most of the larges
wulfenites are on edge. The specimen measures 8.7 x 6 x 2 cm. The
specimen comes with a custom engraved acrylic base. An exceptional
wulfenite specimen an any arena $1,500

under the base so it can also be displayed on its side if desired. The
specimen has lots of flash, not showing well in the images, due to the
exceptional luster of the crystals. Views nicely from any direction as it
is crystallized on every side. The specimen comes with a custom engraved
acrylic base. $450
